My Status As An Assassin Obviously Exceeds The Hero's Chapter 132

Happy Monday!

Here's the chapter, enjoy.

「Then, see you later.」

「Don't die–, Akira!!」

「You too.」

After that, the discussion continued swimmingly, and we immediately departed. 

Zeal-san and the hero party went on ahead, to the safe house that the previous hero party used located in the northernmost part of the beastmen territory.

Kurou and us went to Uruk where Gram was. 

The heroes went ahead, carrying a mark created by Zeal-san's magic that would not be discovered by other people. 

There were many ferocious monsters near the safe house, and that place was so dangerous that even top ranked adventurers would lose their lives, so in order to survive, you must go hunting. 

To be honest, they faced much greater danger than the group going to Uruk. 

Even if Zeal-san was with them, and the hero and Kyousuke's offensive abilities were high, they'll die when they die.

In particular, I think that it would be a harsh journey for the girls and the animal trainer.

It would be good if we could all meet again. 

I gave a wry smile when Nanase and the others jokingly called out to us. 

「Let's meet again, stay safe.」

「I'll say this now, but you guys will be in more danger than us.」

Shocked by Kyousuke who said that in the same tone of voice, this time, with a serious look on my face, I nodded.

「I know. However, it's the same for you guys. You are doing something big, which was why you were hesitating, right?」

I gasped in surprise when I heard Kyousuke's words.

From time to time, Kyousuke's words would head straight to the heart of the matter.

I thought this even when we were in j.a.pan, but because it had become the『Intuition』skill after coming to this world, it seems that he had gotten more accurate.

「…yeah. I'll be careful.」

I barely managed a smile, and although Kyousuke was not completely satisfied, he headed towards where the hero and the others were. 

「What's this, you didn't tell them.」

Kurou, who had come next to me before I even realized it, said this.

It was not such an easy thing to say.

「Aah. Besides, even if I do tell them, I'd tell Amelia first.」

When I said this, the look on Kurou's face expressed that he didn't care and then he went towards Zeal-san.

If you're the one who asked, can you not look like you're going to get cavities?

「Akira, it's almost time.」

「Aah, I see. Then I'll see you later.」

I waved my hand at my cla.s.smates who I may never see again.

「See you, Akira.」

「Aah.」

I turned my back on the hero and the others.

Now then, even though things on their front were settled, if we fail, then in the end, it'll all come to nothing.

…I too need to prepare myself for the worst.

「Akira, do you know what's in Uruk?」

The road from Mari that led to Uruk had not been maintained, and had completely turned into an animal trail.

Amelia, who had worn a hood so that her face could not be seen, asked this. 

Incidentally, Kurou was slowly following us from behind.

「No, I'm not entirely sure. If I remember correctly, Uruk is the biggest state within the beastman territory.」

「Yes. It seems that it's the largest one, and the most abundant. There's also a lot of delicious food.」

That is what Amelia is aiming for, I gave a wry smile.  

At this rate, we will be able to arrive after a week or perhaps just under two weeks.

I really wanted a car.

If cars were impossible, then I want to ride a carriage or a wagon, at least.

「Uruk is a city of water. There are water sources all over the city, and it is not part.i.tioned by roads, but by rivers. The main transportation is boats. It's a beautiful town, so there are many tourists and has developed well.」

I let out a sound of admiration at Kurou's words.

As expected, he had done well in his investigations.

「Come to think of it, a country from the world I came from was also like this.」

「Is that so?」

I nodded, and recalled the picture that had appeared in the social studies textbook.

If I remember correctly, wasn't it Italy.

Although I had wanted to go there at least once, foreign countries were, in one way or another, troublesome, and there was also my mother's situation, so I gave up on that.

「…I'll book the hotel, so you can go sightseeing.」

Amelia and I heard Kurou muttering that, and then we exchanged glances. 

Was it dere Kurou?

TN: derived from the word tsundere where tsun is when someone is being cold and dere is when they're being nice. 

「If we're going to Uruk, then will we be able to meet Ria as well?」

「I contacted her when we left the hotel. She'll guide us around the city if she's not busy.」

I tilted my head in doubt when I heard Kurou's reply.

This guy, did he have this kind of personality.

「…what, if you have something to say, then spit it out.」

As soon as Kurou turned sullen, I was somewhat relieved. 

That's right, Kurou was like this.

「No, your reaction was unlike you, so I was just bewildered.」

When I said this, Kurou kept silent.

Immediately afterwards, he raised his head.

「…that's an appropriate reaction towards someone who has promise. Those heroes have no promise, but you guys do. That's it.」

His answer was cold, but it was something Kurou would say.

「Then, will you teach me the first hero's technique?」

I, was surprised that Amelia hadn't given up on that.

She no longer went and bowed her head toward him like before, so I truly thought that she had given up. 

「…fine. However, I do not know what will become of you.」

Kurou gave a sigh as if in resignation, but Amelia looked happy.
